During an interview, Cargill was asked if she thought she hit a ceiling in All Elite Wrestling.

"I wouldn’t say it’s a ceiling. I would just say that the route I wanted to take was different and the route I wanted to embark on was different. I didn’t see, over there, where I could fit it. The only way I could do it was coming to the WWE Universe. I bet on myself and I made the best decision coming here," Cargill said.
